Also got to meet some of the guys at Ilcea at one of the leather tradeshows. ...

Shoe trees aren't available yet. Carmina does not offer any lasted trees so we have been looking around for a good tree supplier.

In terms of jacket length, how does a Size 48, Model 184 jacket compare with a size 38...

Don't know about skunk but hanging my jacket on my balcony above HK road traffic for a day gets rid of most odours.
I had this jacket where I had failed to get rid of dog-pee smell after dry-cleaning it not once, twice, but three times. The traffic did the job in a day. (my fiance's toy poodle got too excited while standing ON my jacket)

All the best with this new venture, and may you have many long, prosperous years ahead of you.
Just curious about the on-line store... will you be selling jackets and suits in addition to accessories? (The Ring Jacket Model 184 is sublime)
Cheers,
ZG
Yes we will be selling jackets and suits as well!

Starting them young...
Young king kong is so cute! Those carminas are awesome. I have a whole bunch of suede converts at the store. Wear yours in good health!
